Our Commentary ​

Simon Willison building a Web Component with GPT-5.5 is just cool. It's a neat little utility, but the real story here is the AI-assisted development. We're seeing more and more of this, and it makes me wonder how much of our future tooling will be co-authored with LLMs. It's a practical example of AI enhancing DX, and it feels like a glimpse into the future of how we build things.
